now with this new fic have you guys cleared the little bug about the fic having issues with the cam and crank sensors with the tc? We all have been using the resistors on the cam and crank wires which has been working out quit well but like to get your input on it.

Maybe if you can get me some more information on why people are doing this mod, I can have the engineers take a look into it.

We already know aem is not going to put a bigger memory chip in the fic.. yet he says well look into it!
Salesmen never say no!
Anyways its better he's here then no one!

Hehe I know for a fact Ed actually works in the Electronics Tech Department and is in no way a salesman.
You never know they may change the FIC in the future to have a larger on board memory. The FI/C 8 has 2mb vs 64kb in the FIC 6.
You can also always just buy the jumper harness and the 8 instead it has more functions than the 6.

Ok first off... What duplicate account are you? WHY?
and thanks for the info!

Not a duplicte account although I as well work for AEM. Im the one who always posts up things about Tanner Foust/Scion TC drift car. Ed's thing is completely different from me.
My name is Greg Nakano if you all must know. Google me if you want to see who I am haha.

Wow sick info! something good finnaly came out of this thread! thanks paul!
as well do you sell the aem selinoid for controlling boost via aem ems?

Let me break down the cam/crank resistor mod once and for all.
The ORIGINAL/PRIMARY reason why we suggested this modification was to address an issue with a 2004 AUTOMATIC xB Turbo that we had in house.
The F/IC was designed to be a very sensitive unit, which is a good and bad thing. Good being it is able to work with a broad range of vehicles, bad being it will possibly pickup nose and interpret that as an extra signal from the sensors.
With that being said, the 2004 xB we were working on had a misfire issue under high load. This was due to a combination of noise interference and a sensitive F/IC unit.
The reason why I originally said that I wasn't aware of this issue is because it has nothing to do with the tC application. I don't believe we're going to be desensitizing the F/IC in anyway for one application.
Now to answer everyones question, not EVERYONE is going to have this issue. If you do come across what feels/seems like an ignition misfire event, then you can try this resistor mod which seems to be working for some.
The most important thing to remember is that the tC runs best on the Z104.hex. Before you start to worry about if you need to do the resistor mod or not, please make sure you're on the right hex file.
If anyone has questions, please feel free to PM to discuss further.

and the crankshaft/camshaft (cant remember if i got one or both and cant remember if it was system high/low/malfunction or what). like i said right after I installed the resistors i never threw another cam or crank code again.
I understand that you can eliminate the p0420 code with the fic 02 map but would like more detailes how and why...thanks
